radical groups

I think it’s bad they got their funding taken away, but I’m not gonna pretend this group was a radical group. Saying Free Palestine and doing climate change advocacy might be radical to Americans, but both of those things are only advocacy.

In response to the escalating climate disasters that our member groups are experiencing on the ground in Texas, Florida, Puerto Rico, and North Carolina, the Climate Justice Alliance works with frontline groups on the ground to assess and rebuild with a collective vision for a Just Recovery. We are tracking ways to support frontline communities on the ground in the regions impacted by these climate disasters. We are also working with local grassroots groups and networks to provide crucial resources and support to those in immediate need.

Frontline leaders within CJA’s membership are modeling Food Sovereignty as an essential part of a Just Transition to healthy, resilient communities and a regenerative economy through the practice and scaling out of agroecology – a science, a practice, and a movement centered on growing food in harmony with ecological systems.

It Takes Roots utilizes the common frame to protect our land, water, homes, and bodies. We engage in both trans-local power building and mass mobilizations. We come together to share tools, exercise power, and engage a rapid response committed to building resistance and visionary opposition to oppression, extraction, and exploitation.

Currently, with thirty-four active Our Power Communities, our goal is to create living examples of how communities can put people to work transforming their localities, while reducing both cost and pollution burden for present and future generations. These local living economic models are being built through Just Transition. Our Power Communities (OPC’s) bring together the different sectors of a community to fight the bad and build the new.

Reinvest in Our Power is a collaborative effort led by CJA to address inequity and democratize wealth by moving capital and governance from the extractive to regenerative economy. By leveraging momentum and political power, RiOP, including CJA member groups, is moving money into The Financial Cooperative, a democratically-governed cooperative of local, non-extractive revolving loan funds that invest in projects owned/operated by frontline communities to build economic democracy rooted in ecological integrity.

Nothing they are doing is outside of the current system and everything they are doing requires grant money and donations to function in the capacity that they do. There was no “structural trap”. The organization needs state dollars to function, they lost $50 million dollars from this (that is a lot of money for a “grassroots” organization) people would largely not be willing to donate the money needed for this organization to be functional in it’s current capacity. Maybe now that they have lost the grants they will be able to fundraise enough to keep functioning, but the organization was never “radical” to begin with. Radical groups (at least radical US leftist groups*) are not being given $50 million dollars by the US government.

She will not pardon Adams, she politcally largely agrees with him, other than being embaressed about his flagrant corruption, they are both centrist to rightwing Democrats. This article is making it seem like she’s some kind of dyed in the wool progressive who really wants to get rid of someone like him which she is absolutely not.

Go fuck youself :)

which isn’t exactly clear of bias.

that is why I said

you are a child if you think like that

I don’t think you should expect any reporting to be clear of bias, they link dozens of sources throughout the article each with it’s own set of biases, do you really need to link a source from every perspective to not disparage them for not being “clear of bias”. And I think they quite clearly elaborate why they have included the two Venezuelanalysis articles in the following.

However, Washington’s blockade ensured that the elections would never be free and fair. As the main factor driving economic hardship and migration, US sanctions meant Venezuelans headed to the polls with a gun to their heads, not unlike Nicaraguans in 1990.

It is the height of hypocrisy for US officials and their corporate media stenographers to claim the right to arbitrate other sovereign nations’ democratic legitimacy, even as they advance fascism at home and genocidal war across the globe. That sectors of the Western “compatible left” echo Stephens and his ilk, caricaturing the Maduro government as a “corrupt” and “repressive” regime, is unfortunate but not surprising (Ebb, 10/3/24).

The core racial assumption, going back to the 19th century, is that Global South states that refuse to bow to Western imperialist diktat constitute “tropical despotisms” to be toppled in a never-ending “civilizing mission,” with its anti-Communist, “war on terror” and neo-Orientalist mutations.

especially with

It is the height of hypocrisy for US officials and their corporate media stenographers to claim the right to arbitrate other sovereign nations’ democratic legitimacy, even as they advance fascism at home and genocidal war across the globe

The author is rejecting the premise of the US and other countries like the UK to “claim the right to arbitrate other sovereign nations’ democratic legitimacy” So why would they link articles like the ones you linked when the author is clearly saying they don’t believe in the premise.

I don’t think the elections were either “free” or “fair” and they probably did rig it, but that doesn’t justify invading a country, if you think it does you are just a warmonger. There are plenty of countries with similarly rigged elections that the US doesn’t consider invading and the main reason they are so interested in Venezuela is the massive oil resources American oil companies would be able to access if a government friendly to US companies would somehow get into power.

Both sources provided in this article about the election in Venezuela come from the same website, which isn’t exactly clear of bias.

No media is clear of bias, you are a child if you think like that. You just disagree with the bias which is fair, it’s your opinion.

I feel like anywhere from 4 to 7 of those points are just on Elon, that’s what happens when you employ the most annoying person in the country.

Grassroots organizations aren’t giving them giant slush funds of cash for their election campaigns or offering them 6 or 7 figure salary jobs after they leave office so what good are they?

I assuming you’re not American if you’re asking this you can basically get arrested for anything here, especially if you’re holding a Palestinian flag. They arrested a lot of student protestors for a lot less.

you can just put in aaaaa@gmail.com, it’s dumb, but it’s a very easily bypassed “paywall”

That’s true, but barn cats are cats that are more likely to be fed scraps and raw food to begin with. Most people with pet cats are just feeding them cat food. Obviously some people are doing this as it is discussed in the article, but, Bird flu is primed to be the next covid with how unseriously it’s being taken right now, especially by poultry/egg farmers.

One can hope that farmers with barn cats will actually do that, but they probably won’t.

But cutting off access without any steps to fix it first will just lead to decisions being made without any data at all.

I can almost guarentee the next Dem administration will not take any steps to fix it either and will just start paying Politico again so kind of a wash for me. I think it’s an accurate narrative, it is ridiculous that they were paying for this with tax dollars, even if they don’t end up replacing it.

A lot of people who are on methadone, don’t necearrily have a doctor to prescribe them something, they should, but they don’t, good info for those who do though.

Why don’t the democrats simply discipline their members helping Trump’s agenda then? Because I think the title is pretty accurate if they can’t be bothered to do the bare minimum against it.

IDK, people can downvote what they want. I unchecked the show upvotes and show downvotes options on the first day I made an account not gonna have a conditioned response to a number every time I post something or read a post, would highly recommend doing it personally.

If the downvoting seems suspicious like somebody might have used bots to mass downvote it, you can always message the instance mods as that would violate the instance rules of pretty much any instance.

“what about” it?

If you post the Ten Commandments in a classroom, students will read the rule against committing adultery, and Sen. Cora Neumann had a question about that situation.

The Montana Legislature already has told schools to notify parents about anything related to sex — even teaching Romeo and Juliet — so parents can have their children “opt out” of the lesson in question.

Given that consideration, Neumann wondered how teachers would handle the situation with the Ten Commandments — from a practical standpoint.

“This is actually going against our own Legislature’s ruling of the last session of exposing children to explicit sexual references,” said Neumann, D-Bozeman.

I would love to see a court square the circle on how bringing up adultery has nothing to do with sex.

I have better things to do with my time, then debate MMT on lemmy, or debate on lemmy in general.
